Letting the Nightmare Lord refine the Six-Winged Illusion Python wasn't a sudden idea. Lin Feng had already considered it.
After all, the Arowana's initial rank was too low, only First Grade.
Furthermore, it evolved from an ordinary carp into a demon beast.
Among the First Grade demon spirits, the Arowana was at the bottom.
As a carp, although it contained the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, it was still too weak.
In the past two years, Lin Feng had consumed a large amount of resources. Soul Nurturing Pills and demon spirits were almost unlimited, so he could eat as much as he wanted.
In the demon spirit world, just the demon spirits eaten by the Arowana were worth billions.
Furthermore, the Arowana had only absorbed Purple Gold Soul Skills. Lin Feng had also eaten two precious Elemental Fruits. Even so, the Arowana had only evolved to Rank 4.
Although it was about to break through to Rank 5 and could absorb a Soul Skill, Lin Feng didn't have the confidence to succeed.
Even if he waited until his sixth Soul Skill to absorb it, the success rate wouldn't be high.
If he wanted to have the confidence to succeed, he might have to wait until his seventh or eighth Soul Skill. That would take at least a few years. If he delayed for too long, there would be too many variables.
The earlier he absorbed it, the stronger he was, and the more beneficial it would be.
Although the Six-Winged Illusion Python was only a Ninth Grade demon spirit and wasn't ranked on the Earth Ranking, it possessed a Divine Rank Soul Skill.
The Illusion Soul Skill allowed the body to enter an illusory state for a period of time. It was similar to the Elemental Transformation of the body. Under a certain degree of attack, it had the effect of invincibility.
The Elemental Transformation of the body was the symbol of an Emperor, which was also the symbol of a Transcendent expert.
This Soul Skill was also known as one of the top defensive Soul Skills.
No matter what profession or what kind of super genius one was, they wouldn't reject such a Divine Rank Soul Skill.
It was a Soul Skill that close-combat professions yearned for.
Among them, Yu Qiao desired it very much.
In tonight's Rookie Challenge, Yu Qiao's strength and wretched attacking style attracted the attention of many clubs. After the competition ended, Yu Qiao also received many contracts.
However, they were all A-rank clubs.
Among the Ten Great Clubs, only one was interested in him. Furthermore, all of them were A-rank contracts. The highest salary was seven hundred million for ten years, split into three and seven.
The salary wasn't low, but compared to Ye Qiu and Yunkai, it was nothing.
It wasn't even a fifth.
Ye Qiu and Yunkai were both in the 9: 1 tier.
For Yu Qiao, who was bursting with confidence, this was obviously unacceptable.
Ever since he saw the Six-Winged Illusion Python, Yu Qiao had been constantly thinking about it. This soul skill was very suitable for him. As long as he could absorb and transform it, his strength would increase by a level.
A single soul skill would allow Yu Qiao to undergo a metamorphosis, and it would only be a matter of time before he became a top assassin.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that as long as he could absorb this soul skill, all the top clubs in the Glory League, including the top ten clubs, would give him a contract.
Starting from 2 billion in ten years, his net worth would increase by at least three times.
This was the charm of a Divine rank demon spirit.
Yu Qiao had expressed his desire for this Soul Skill to Lin Feng many times. For this, he was willing to follow Lin Feng blindly, even if he had to be Lin Feng's follower for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng ignored him.
Illusion soul skills were similar to doppelganger soul skills, they were soul skills that all professionals yearned for.
Naturally, Lin Feng was no exception.
Although the Arowana's innate skill, Bubbles, was powerful, its attack speed was too slow. As long as one bubble exploded, it would easily cause a chain reaction. This was a huge flaw. If he could absorb and transform it, he could make up for this flaw.
Furthermore, this soul skill was the most important part of Lin Feng's combination soul skills.
The four soul skills that the Arowana currently possessed weren't randomly absorbed, they were all planned and targeted.
The fourth soul skill, 'Peace Contract', could be combined with the Heart Pupil Soul Skill in the future with the help of the Nightmare Lord.
First soul skill, Mirror Image.
Second soul skill, Phantom Doppelganger.
Third soul skill, Lock On.
These three soul skills seemed to be unrelated, but they were actually a combination soul skill.
This was a combination that Lin Feng came up with after a long period of planning.
For a powerful Demon Spiritualist, the prerequisite for absorbing soul skills was that they were compatible with the innate skill. Secondly, they had to consider if they could be combined.
For example, a wind attribute soul skill and a fire attribute soul skill were the most basic and also the most classic combination soul skill.
When the effects of the soul skill were combined, it would give the soul skill even more power.
For some low and mid-ranked soul skills, if they could be combined well, their power would become even stronger, no weaker than a high-ranked soul skill.
The competition in the Glory League was very intense.
There were as many geniuses as dogs.
Even a super genius that refined an Earth Ranking demon spirit might not be able to become the main force of a team.
Many professional players, after joining a club, were unable to become the main force. They would rather sit on the bench than leave. One of the most important reasons was that the club had a professional team. They would plan and design the most suitable combination soul skill according to the profession and demon spirit of the members.
A powerful combination soul skill would allow a mediocre Demon Spiritualist to undergo a transformation.
Similar to the evolution route, soul skill combinations were also very precious. They could be sold for money, and the price wasn't cheap. This was because it required a deep understanding of the soul skill, as well as a large amount of experimentation.
Lin Feng's first three soul skills didn't have any effect, because they were three out of the five combination soul skills. Only by absorbing the other two soul skills would they be able to display their power.
This was only Lin Feng's guess. Perhaps someone had tried it before, but no one had succeeded. As long as he succeeded, Lin Feng believed that it would definitely shock everyone.
As for his strength, it would also welcome a huge leap.
This combination soul skill would also be his main attacking method in the future.
As for Illusion, it was the fourth soul skill of the five combination soul skills.
It was also one of the two most important soul skills.
Therefore, failure was not an option.
If he were to fail, it would be difficult to find another Six-Winged Illusion Python.
Only the Nightmare Lord would be able to fully absorb the soul skill.
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Feng decided to let the Nightmare Lord absorb the soul skill.
Furthermore, the soul skill absorbed by the Nightmare Lord, even if it wasn't in its demon transformation state, it would still be able to fully display the soul skill's effect. This was a huge advantage.
Especially now that Lin Feng was in a very bad situation.
Aside from the hundred billion bounty on him, which attracted countless assassins, he still had to face the assassination of the other Apostle candidates.
Even if he became an Apostle and joined the 'Pure Land' in the future, it would be like walking on thin ice.
If he could absorb Illusion, he would have one more trump card and his safety would be guaranteed.
Although absorbing the Six-Winged Illusion Python would make the Nightmare Lord stronger, if he could find a way to expel the Nightmare Lord from his body one day in the future, the soul skill would disappear along with the disappearance of the Nightmare Lord. This was obviously a waste of God's gift.
But now, he couldn't care so much.
Safety was more important!
If he lost his life, how could he care so much!
Furthermore, only when the Nightmare Lord became stronger would Lin Feng have the confidence to help Ye Qiu absorb the diamond soul skill.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and closed his eyes. When he opened them, two dark red vortexes were spinning in his originally pitch-black eyes, looking extremely evil.
A dark red ghostly figure wrapped around his entire body like a flame, burning fiercely. However, it brought a trace of warmth, only a bone-piercing chill.
Following this, an evil and bloody aura suddenly erupted from Lin Feng's body.
This aura was stronger and more vivid than before.
The swaying and twisting ghostly figure seemed to have its own consciousness and wanted to descend into the human world.
It wasn't just the aura, but also the whispers that lingered in his ears.
It was clearer and more bewitching, as if it was whispering about something.
It was telling him about its hatred for him and its desire for this body.
Although it wasn't the first time the Nightmare Lord had possessed his body, every time it happened, it would make Lin Feng's heart feel cold.
He could clearly feel that an evil and cold force was slowly eroding and assimilating his body. This feeling was like a deformed Siamese person.
One body, but with two heads and two different souls.
However, these two souls both wanted to occupy this body.
This feeling made him tremble.
But at the same time, the perfect control of his body under the Demon Transformation state made Lin Feng slightly addicted.
Fortunately, Lin Feng wasn't immersed in this feeling and quickly came back to his senses. Because every second he delayed, the degree of assimilation increased.
After the Demon Spirit possessed his body, Lin Feng took out the Six-Winged Illusion Python from the Demon Sealing Soul Tool.
The Six-Winged Illusion Python was a Rank Nine demonic beast. It was powerful and tyrannical by nature. Even after it died and became a Demon Spirit, it still retained its nature.
But at this moment, in Lin Feng's hands, it was trembling as if it had met its natural enemy.
When Lin Feng absorbed it into his Soul Sea, he could clearly feel the Six-Winged Illusion Python's fear. It trembled and wanted to escape, but it seemed to be suppressed and could only let the Nightmare Lord corrode and devour it step by step.
"As expected, this Evil Spirit can't refine other soul skills except for the rare diamond soul skill."
Seeing the Nightmare Lord take the initiative and reveal its desire, Lin Feng thought to himself.
Although he had refined the Nightmare Lord, Lin Feng couldn't completely control this Demon Spirit.
The Nightmare Lord had its own consciousness.
As it became stronger, its intelligence also became higher.
Lin Feng could possess the Nightmare Lord and borrow its power to help the Dragonfish absorb soul skills, but he couldn't let the Nightmare Lord absorb soul skills.
Lin Feng had tried before, but it had all ended in failure.
The Nightmare Lord was very picky about the soul skills it absorbed. It wouldn't care about ordinary soul skills, even if it was a diamond soul skill.
The two soul skills that Nightmare Master had absorbed were absorbed by his own hands, and not by Lin Feng.
Originally, Lin Feng was worried that the Nightmare Lord wouldn't absorb the Six-Winged Illusion Python, but it seemed like he was worried for nothing.
This picky fellow probably knew how precious the Six-Winged Illusion Python was.
The process of absorbing the soul skills didn't encounter any obstacles. Under the Nightmare Lord's devouring, the Six-Winged Illusion Python couldn't resist at all.
Because it couldn't resist, the process of absorbing the soul skills was very smooth.
As the Six-Winged Illusion Python was devoured, a cold energy spread out from the Soul Sea. Like a wave, it began to sweep through every inch of Lin Feng's body.
Under this energy, Lin Feng's body couldn't help but tremble. He felt that his body was about to be frozen. His internal organs were more fragile than his body. Waves of piercing pain came from his body. His blood flow slowed down, causing his breathing to become rapid.
This was the transformation of the body caused by absorbing the demon spirit's power.
In a situation where the body was in pain, he still had to control his natal demon spirit to devour the demon spirit. The difficulty increased by many times, and this was also the reason why many people failed to absorb soul skills.
However, Lin Feng wasn't worried.
Because the Nightmare Lord didn't need his control, this bit of pain was nothing to him.
In less than a minute, the Six-Winged Illusion Python had completely disappeared. The chill in his body also quickly subsided.
Compared to before, although his qi and blood didn't increase, his body was more condensed and firm.
At the same time, the Nightmare Lord's aura had also become stronger.
Compared to the agitation and excitement from the first time it devoured the demon spirit, the Nightmare Lord was much quieter this time.
Quiet!
From another point of view, it also meant that the Nightmare Lord could control its own emotions and its intelligence was increasing.
To Lin Feng, this wasn't good news!
Lin Feng withdrew from his demon transformation state.
He quietly released his soul skill.
Lin Feng quietly stood in place. His body was actually slightly distorted like an illusion, but in the end, it returned to its original state.
Lin Feng's face was a little pale.
In a short three seconds, his soul power had been completely exhausted.
"My strength is too weak, and my soul power isn't enough. I can't completely transform."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly.
Even if he could absorb a Divine Rank Soul Skill, it wasn't that easy to use it.
The higher the rank of the Soul Skill, the higher the requirement on the body and soul power.
Transformation didn't have a high requirement on the body, but it had a high requirement on the soul power.
With Lin Feng's current soul power, it was obviously impossible for him to completely transform his body into an illusion.
Even one-third of it was barely enough.
After eating a Soul Nurturing Pill, half an hour passed. When his soul power recovered, Lin Feng stretched out his right hand. His white right hand was slowly fading, and finally, it slowly disappeared, leaving behind a hand made of light blue clouds.
It was also at this moment that Lin Feng suddenly felt his right hand disappear.
He couldn't control it, and he couldn't feel it!
Lin Feng touched his right hand with his left hand, and didn't encounter any obstruction as he directly passed through the light blue clouds.
Zi zi zi zi zi …
Accompanied by an ear-piercing electric current, Lin Feng's left hand released a strong electric current. Under this electric current, his right hand that had turned into a cloud couldn't feel anything.
Seven seconds later, his soul power was overdrawn, and his right hand returned to its original state without any trace of injury.
"As expected of a Divine Rank Soul Skill. As long as I use it, I don't have to worry about ordinary physical attacks. The only thing I have to worry about is energy attacks. If the energy is too strong, it will cause the Soul Skill to lose its effectiveness."
Lin Feng's face revealed a trace of a smile. He was very satisfied with this Soul Skill.
Out of the five Soul Combination Skills, he had absorbed four. Only one left!
